Jamir, 28 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Jamir is a resilient single mother of two young boys, with a son who has been diagnosed with autism. A survivor of domestic violence, she is currently navigating the challenges of depression and anxiety while working tirelessly to provide a nurturing and stable environment for her children. Although she is currently unemployed, she remains deeply committed to her children’s well-being, walking with them to medical appointments, daycare, and local parks. She finds peace in walking, crafting, and spending time outdoors. e.

Jamir is requesting a stroller not just for convenience, but out of necessity. Her three-year-old son, who has autism, often experiences sensory overload and emotional distress, making it difficult or unsafe for him to walk long distances. When he becomes upset, he may refuse to walk or become hard to manage, especially in crowded places. A stroller would provide a safe and calming space for him, allowing Jamir to transport both children to appointments, daycare, and activities without compromising their safety. It would ease her anxiety during outings and reduce the physical strain of managing two kids on foot. This support would help Jamir keep her children safe and maintain their daily routine, especially when her son feels overwhelmed.
